Hello Prachi,
First we have to create the lookup relationship then populate the value on all existing record and then convert it into Master Details relationship.

Hi
You can't create a master-detail relationship if the custom object already contains data.
You can, however,first create the relationship as a lookup and then convert it to master-detail if the lookup field in all records contains a value.
Thanks
